As I continue to experience this wonderful thing we call "life", it never ceases to amaze me how the glowing promises we were fed in our youth continue to be broken. "Get your education, get a good job, and retire by 65...life will be fine!" Yeah, ok. I recall being 1 year out of college while working for one of the world's largest computer manufacturers when we were informed that pensions were being eliminated (and subsequently observing many high level Senior Engineers and Mangers shake their heads in disbelief). And it still boggles the mind how many people who are far more heavily qualified than me still cannot find employment in certain parts of the country. And today, I came across an article published on MSN Money titled, "8 Reasons You Won't Retire at 65." (You can see that article here).

What bothers me most is the tone of the article. Almost as if to say, "Oh well." Or "deal with it." Or "Hey, bro...it is what it is!"Really? Reading through the 8 Reasons was down-right depressing. However, thanks to being introduced to the profession of Network Marketing and for having met pioneers like Eric Worre (pictured with me on the right), I am not surprised nor am I agitated. I'm so glad I found a better way to weather the storm of the inevitable.

Scary right? One thing is clear: times have changed. The question is, ﻿will you change with the times?﻿ If you know anything about me, you'll know that I highly recommend starting a part-time home based business in the profession of network marketing to allow anyone to retire more quickly and gracefully. About a year ago, I published a blog titled "10 Questions to ask before choosing a network marketing company", where I cited a Forbes article which highlighted why baby-boomers need alternate ways of earning cash.

If you want more info on what we do, visit GetOffTheRATWheel.com and get back with me or whoever referred you to this article. In any case, its time to do something. I don't know about you, but if you're not happy about the prospects of retiring prior to being a great-great-great ancestor, its time to do something different.
